A member asked:
Right after the spider bites that made my eyelid swell i've been experiencing cloudiness in that eye, like a large "floater" that is very obvious.?

See below: If you we're bitten by a spider and you eye swelled up along with any of these symptoms: facial, lip, tongue, mouth swelling or breathing problems, nausea, vomiting, fainting, dizziness -get seen asap (911). If you eye is just swollen and you see "floaters" it mat be due to local swelling or another coincidental process going on at the same time. See an ophthalmologist!

Large floater: I agree with the other doctor that the swelling of the lid and vision changes are of serious concern. The floater is unrelated. See an eye specialist to determine cause of new floater.
